I won 2 tickets for Invisible Target and sat inside the cinema before the trailers started – a first lately.
Then the movie started and Donnie Yen’s close up face appeared on the screen. What? Invisible Target has Donnie? I thought it starred Jaycee, Nicholas and Shawn. I took out my ticket and squinted. Cinema number correct ak. Only the staff gave me Flash Point tickets. Read somewhere that there are spoilers in the official website. [Checked the site] Yep, it’s in the synopsis.
Decided to stick and watch this anyway since both are action movies – cops vs baddies.
Donnie Yen (a cop obviously, since when does he play a bad guy?) is being drilled by his superiors though only 1 Madam is doing all the questioning, “Didn’t you hurt blah blah in 1996/1997?”
I wonder if the beach scene featuring the Donnie posing like a model and exercising at the beach is to show off his tendency to pose yau ying (stylish). Haha.
The bad guys head are 3 Vietnamese brothers (Archer, Tony and Tiger) and there are another bad guys group consisting of more ahem older men. As bad as they are involved in gangsterisme, illegal activities and killing people without mercy, the guys love their mother – at least 1 of them really cared.
I wonder why the gangsters do not have enough ’security guards’?

Fan Bing Bing looks pretty. She’s getting more beautiful and appearing in more movies – upcoming would be a romantic comedy with Richie Ren. I remembered her as the punk cruel bitch in err.. Andy Lau & Rene Liu’s as thieves to save a naive monk vs thieves.
The fights are coldhardfast and violent. Some of them last pretty long – those guys have really long lives. I like some of the action scenes – when Donnie shoots at the thrown bullets, fights with Chou. Donnie’s the main guy in this movie, other cops and baddies may get some scenes but the glory’s with Donnie.
The appearance of mothers didn’t move me but what happened to the baddies’ mother?
At the end of the movie, you’ll see the background scenes – how they trained and filmed the movie. Some of the stunts are real – without wire and protection!
